Swashbuckler

It’s your job to rescue damsels in distress. You know the ones. They’re sitting at the bar sipping oh so sweet cocktails served straight from the Slurpee machine. Introduce them to fresh fruit, light sweetness and deep flavor. This one rolls off the tongue with round, lush refreshment.
